Eliot Spitzer, former governor of New York, has ended his 26 year marriage to Silda Wall Spitzer, who famously stood by his side in a 2008 press conference as he confessed to having extramarital affairs with prostitutes.

The couple announced their decision to separate on Tuesday, the Associated Press reports. They have reportedly been living apart for months.

Yes Spitzer has a zipper problem but his wife is a political animal who worked for Hillary Clinton and was using her husband's political aspirations to further her own. So she stayed with him until his last attempt to get elected was declined ,and now she has to split with him ,so she can cut her losses and make way to get someone else to back her political ambitions. She is cold hearted and someone who should be kept out of the political system, we have enough of that kind of politician now.
